dc.description.abstract | Aim: To evaluate the effect of air pollution parameters and meteorological factors on the prognosisof idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL).Methods: 40 patients diagnosed with ISSNHL who were treated in our clinic between 2015 and 2018were examined retrospectively. Meteorological data including average temperature (Tmean), maximumand minimum temperature (Tmax and Tmin), relative humidity, and air pollution parameters includingsulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulate matter (PM 10). Data of 10 days prior to the disease and 14 daysafter the treatment were analyzed.Results: When the distribution of patients according to the seasons were examined, it was found that12 (30%) of the patients were seen in autumn, 11 (27.5%) in spring, 9 (22.5%) in winter, and 8 (20%)in summer. When the Tmax, Tmin, Tmean values obtained as of the initiation of the treatment werecompared, it was found that the values of the group without recovery were significantly lower.Relative humidity values were significantly lower in the group without recovery in pre-treatment andpost-treatment measurements. No significant difference was found between the recovery groups inSO2 and PM10 values in pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements.Conclusion: It was observed that relative humidity, Tmax, Tmin, Tmean values may affect prognosis inISSNHL patients in our study. In addition, SO2 and PM10 were not associated with ISSNHL recoveryrates. Our study is the first in the literature in terms of evaluating the relationship between air pollutionparameters and ISSNHL prognosis. | en_US |
